Life Coaching by Eileen Lang

As it all comes together while relatives are arriving,you are cooking meals, wrapping presents and  baking remember to check in with yourself. Are you stressed or even maybe a little sad? Stopping for just a few minutes can help you to check in with your feelings and process them to feel better. If you are stressed then a few moments of down time can let you take a breath and bring on a sense of calm.

Do you have unfinished emotional business with a family member? This may not be a good time to resolve things and when you let them get to you then you give them the power to mess with your holiday. Take a breath and step away to deal with the emotion and make a choice whether you need to respond. It is always better to respond verses react. When you choose to respond verses react you are in control. What is to be gained from a response at this time. 

You can make the most of your holiday when you are in touch with how you feel and have reasonable expectations.

Have a wonderful Holiday Season!

Sometimes where we end up is right where we need to be. After struggling this last year to fit in a corporate setting finding my clear path has just fallen into place. When we force ourselves to remain in the wrong place and sacrifice our emotional or physical wellbeing in the process we are unhappy with life and ourselves. If we just stop the struggling, stop the negative thoughts and noise in our head to connect to our peaceful inner self the answers or solutions will just come to us. Being patient to let that process happen is essential as well as learning to be kind and forgiving to ourselves.
